    There's nothing Morey can do if Dragic doesn't want to be here.

    Being the "guaranteed starter" is likely what was the deciding factor.

    It's a lot easier to accept, if that's the case.

    The fact that we offered the same contract to Lin basically confirmed the fact that the team wanted Lin more for his commercial appeal. At least we know what this team thinks.

    Dragic is 26 too. Any reason why he can't be part of a rebuild while they can?

    Come on guy, money isn't the issue here. It's the lack of guarantee of a starting job is the sticking point.

    Do you think players liked CD and Petterson more?

    I doubt that, since this was apparently the same deal that was offered to Lin. If this is true that means either the Rockets didn't want Dragic, or Dragic just didn't want to play in Houston.

    As ESPN reported, Goran Dragic agreed to a 4 year, $34M deal with the Suns. Rockets decided that was "too rich" and let him go, source says.

    Some of you guys really cracked me up that you were talking as if Dragic were the key to the NBA championship.

    Yeah and Lin said no to our offer too.
    Next thing you know Lowry, Martin, and Scola are going to demand trades.

    Seems like no player wants to play here except Scola and Camby.

    Ugh, he was guarenteed to be the starter. Who was gonna challenge Gogi for the spot. Lowry was on the trading block, but you cant trade Lowry until Gogi signs

    The only thing that didnt make this WORSE( if i can even say that), Is if Morey traded Lowry on draft day, and lost Dragic. WOW

    But thats probably gonna happen anyway

    He certainly could be but the fact that he is not here does not mean we are not rebuilding.
